Abstract

Fourteen species of Aprostocetus Westwood from China are reviewed, including one new species, A. maculosussp. nov., and new country records for four species: A. viridinitens Graham, 1987, A. occidentalis Graham, 1987, A. ligus (Walker, 1839) and A. percaudatus (Silvestri, 1920). New distributional data for A. caudatus Westwood, 1833, A. epicharmus (Walker, 1839), A. gratus (Giraud, 1863), A. minimus (Ratzeburg, 1848), A. microcosmus (Girault, 1917), A. pinus Li & Xu, 2014, A. nigroplaque Yang & Cao, 2015, A. crino (Walker, 1838), and A. mandanis (Walker, 1839) are provided. Keys to Chinese subgenera of the genus Aprostocetus and Chinese species of the subgenera Aprostocetus and Ootetrastichus are given based on Chinese material.
